Have to agree with the poster above. At the moment heals are much better than defense. You'd be well advised to drop that line of rifles and get whatever you can in healing.

aside from that here are somebasic pvp tips

1. You are a ranged template so you want to be kiting. Yes it will irritate the piss out of your opponent but that's just kind of how it is. Stay as far away as your weapons and the terrain will alow you.

2. Use terrain and line of sight to your advantage if you begin taking too much damage. (this is particularly useful in group combat as the enemy may decide to go for a different target ifline of sight prohibits them fromhittingyou)

3. Know your role and that of the people around you(assuming you are fighting in a group). If your job is damage then do damage. Let the healers heal and the tanks tank.(it's important for you to be able to heal yourself should the need arise but it's also important that you not spend all your time healing if your group is relying on you for damage)

Buy a Probot droid with +110 HealingEff and the rest into combat/armor modules. With that droid out, I do ~1500 bacta shot heals (I'm 4000CM.)

thanks guys I dropped that rifle line today ( only had it to cap three weapons for FS exchange anyway) and began working on the medic line. anymroe advice concering cocktails and hourderves would be great.

i really only take a booster, blob candy, spiced tea, bofa treat, crispic (accuracy)

the melee/ranged defense foods are broken atm


the best thing to do in PVP is get in a good group..get on vent or TS if you have it.

what we do (the ranged) in PVP is stick in a tight, tight formation..we're always within 50m (even the rifles) so everyone can shoot, and with 5-6 ranged guys blasting the same target, nothing stays up for long. if anyone focuses on anyone in our group, the area heal of CM done by 2-3 guys takes care of the problem real fast


so, imo, the best GROUP is what's gonna make you win, the foods and other stuff (sea's, etc) are just a little boost

First of all you **edit**, lose the rifleman. I was MCarb/MRifle with some BH mixed in and was getting owned heavily. So I dropped Rifle, added a little Pistol, and went 4004 in Doctor. I can't garuntee your going to win any duels, but I drug a master templater in melee out to a 20 minute fight, and I've stood against several of our own Jedi. PvP wise, if we get engaged in our typical base procedures, I have a KD, Snare, Semi-Snare, Root, 2 AoEs, 2 heavy pt shots, and some major heals plus some buffs. Just need a good E-11 Mk II or an Elite Carbine. I keep a Nym's for some elmental kinetic damage just in case.

Doctor is a waste of SP. Too many invested for what, a few extra points of healing? Why not just FOTM it and get MCM and the last tree of pistols, or the line of carbs that has leg shot?

I have 0304 Pistoleer and 4004 Doctor with MCarb. The only person I've had trouble with is a MCM with all of thier poison and disease attacks.
